I have wanted to post for quite some time about the myriad of fundraisers out there. There are a whole lot of families in the process of adopting, and this is not a cheap process. Many of them have come up with creative ways to earn some money towards their adoptions.
As we come so close to Christmas, I wonder how many of us have those "impossible to buy for" people. This year, I was able to give some gifts that give to more than just one.
Reece's Rainbow sells Angel Tree Dollars, where people can pick a child who gets their donation. They also have super cute calendars (free download). I've also purchased several gifts from adopting families.
This is one of my favorites, and I hope you'll go visit
their blog to check it out.
This family is adopting Caleb from China.
Oh, my goodness, isn't he sweet?
Juli makes all kinds of homemade crafts. I bought a lanyard and several key fobs (sorry, I think I depleted her stock), and they are awesome! They were a big hit with my family. She still has several items left, and perhaps you are looking for something. Just be warned, I am buying some more, so you'd better hurry! Here is just a small sampling:
Please head over to
Adding Branches to see her whole selection. She is amazing.
Jewelery Bags (several different designs... I love these and will be getting Alyssa and myself one for our next vacation.) $20
Lanyards (I have the one on the far right, and I love it... great for work or for the kids) $10
Pacifier holders (would have loved this when Alyssa was little, might have saved a lot of "10 second rules") $5
Table Runners (double sided) $20
Ornaments (super cute, I'll be getting some of these too) $5
So, head over
HERE to check out more options. You'll be glad you did. Nothing quite like feeling good about the things that you buy.
